Good morning,

We had installed the waptagent and waptserver packages on a Debian 11 server.
After uninstalling the agent, I wanted to clean up the remaining packages.

Code: Select all

dpkg -l | grep ^rc | cut -d " " -f 3 | xargs --no-run-if-empty dpkg --purge
This action deleted the server folder: /opt/wapt

That's annoying.

Hello Walter,
what version of wapt are you using (see forum rules)? There's a conflict in the control files, so it shouldn't be possible to have both on the same machine... unless it's a fairly old remnant.
And in the case of your topic, what version of tis-waptagent was used before the purge, and what version of the tis-waptserver package are you using?
Regards,
Denis

We have WAPT Enterprise.
The server is running Debian 11.
The WAPT-server version was 2.4.0.14031-1420892a-debian-10-amd64, but I updated it to 2.4.0.14058-ae548d8a-debian-10-amd64.

The agent was installed on April 18, 2023, as version 2.3.0.13516-69968974-debian-11-amd64. Indeed, it uninstalled WAPT-server.
The installation was performed at the trainer's request. We wanted to configure data transmission to GLPI.
The agent was uninstalled on April 21, 2023, during the reinstallation of the server package.

I just saw in the documentation that there was no need to install the agent on the server; apparently, the trainer didn't know that.

I solved the problem by copying the /opt/wapt folder, cleaning it up, and then putting the /opt/wapt folder back.
But it took me a while to figure out where the problem was coming from.
